Your argument wasn't about the violence, it was about missed opportunities, please don't flip flop. My point was that Suarez missed the open goal many times before, so we have no evidence that keeper prevented 100% goal. Penalty is fair opportunity. When it comes to violence I agree with you there, but that episode wasn't the most violent incident there. 2 Games ago a keeper stomped on Messi and it went unpunished.

That is a good idea but it has a flaw. You really don't know if the goal will actually go in that is another clear opportunity is given in terms of penalty. Not a definite goal.

In that case, the penalty kick should be done without a goalkeeper. Since Suarez still has the chance of missing the open net

Hey Suarez I am gonna tackle you and let you try your luck with a less likely goal and won't even get a card for it . that doesn't sound fair to me

I did not say"no card". I'm against the red. Yellow is perfectly fine for me.

I don't see them different argument .


And even if so my original post is that I said all what Bilbao get punished for is giving us a tougher opportunity since an empty goal is easier chance than Penalty . I didn't say it is an already scored goal .
For that I don't see Penalty enough punishment ,you simply reward players for violence .

The rule change would allow the referee to decide whether it was a deliberate profesional foul or attempt to win ball/ust plain clumsy.

If deliberate then straight red if not yellow, both pens.

Sure I read FIFA wee looking at it but cant find any links.

La liga refs surely need more room to make mistakes and be corrupt. It doesn't even happen that often. Should stay as it is.

Only video will ever save us in this department

Has he found a new sponsor yet? Clock's ticking.

 

[Icarium]

One season without sponsor could damage us economically but I will buy 3-4 jerseys if that is the case. I still think Qatar airways will renew with us. Who else could give what barca is demanding?

 

[Barcaman]

Oil is at 30usd though. When they signed us it was at 100

 

[DonAK]

You gotta be really useless if you can't find another sponsor for FC BARCELONA.

I really hope he finds someone soon though, because we need it.

 

[TornAndFrayed]

Gas wasn't hit quite as hard though.
If the Qatari back out it's probably more of a strategic decision on their part than an economic one.

Another game where the star player just gets stamped on.

Hello Barto?!?! How many games do you want the team to get screwed over until you will open your ratmouth?

More and more I think about it the theory where he is blackmailed by Spanish authorities is starting to look plausible.

plot twist : the spanish authorities were the ones threatening rosell's family.
